So we’ve said before that Sigourney Weaver is really keen on another Alien movie but Ridley Scott has been saying quite negative comments about the idea. Well apparently no more. According to Moviehole through Cinematical, the money is talking:
…the Co-Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment Tom Rothman…revealed that Ridley Scott may be interested in making a fith Alien movie: “Every time I see Ridley Scott he still talks about Alien so there’s always a possibility of him doing the next one”, he says. “I don’t think it’s near-turn, I think he has a couple of other movies he wants to do first, but we have a deal with Ridley and it’s always possible”.
Ohh, now there’s a possible turn in attitude, or maybe not. He could still be saying negative things and this is the money men spinning the idea to try and raise interest and show Scott there might be some life in it. Mind you, if they want to resurrect the life in the Alien series then they’re going about it the wrong way. The next movie up for that studio is the sequel to AVP: Alien Vs. Predator. Yeah, now after that try saying to Scott once more, “fancy making an Alien 5 then?”
